What's the settings?
*
yes,sometimes less than that
brightness=auto,half
power=balanced
greenified all apps
half day data off,on when screen on,later back home full wifi
ram always 60%,as i dont have many apps
no games played,occasionally watching 720p movie for an hour

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jun 8 2014, 02:17 PM)
I'm on dev rom now, and battery life seems to have improved a lot.
Only bug I found is that sometimes my phone would randomly lose signal.
So far it has happened twice for the past 2 days.
*
ahhh,i see...should observed dev rom more before i decide to move in it,thanks for the feedback nod.gif

once u update to 4.6.6 dev rom, ram still same high usage but no lag at all only. ram usage high is normal in miui rom. no need to worry
*
i'm not worry about ram,as this is normal phone after phone biggrin.gif

i'm just asking if dev rom will offer some improvement in term of battery,as i'm only getting 4 sot max with light-moderate usage.

Not again !!!!

Those wants to know what mi3 wcdma processor using

http://gsminsider.com/2014/01/xiaomi-mi3-w...sm8274ab-issue/
*
i quote from the very source u gave ya biggrin.gif

Both MSM8x74AB and MSM8x74AC belong to Snapdragon 801 series after confirmed by Qualcomm earlier this year. During the launched of XiaoMi in January 2014, Qualcomm did not clarify about the processor models yet. Therefore, the AB and AC models were not categorized as Snapdragon 801 series at that time. For your information, Sony Xperia Z2 and Oppo Find 7A are powered by the AB model of Snapdragon 801 processor. The AB model is”usually” clocked at 2.3GHz while the AC model is “usually” clocked at 2.5GHz.

our 8274AB that time is known as ''faster version of snapdragon 800'' but qualcomm confusing naming said AB now is a s801, lei jun already said,our processor is faster than the one in note 3,but he been gaving the wrong model name,hence 8794AB,but actually is 8274AB with 3g only.

thats still means its a snapdragon 801,just qualcomm including it into the 801 lineup.

Download the multi language Kitkat Dev rom here

http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-6-6.24524/

And just flash using the Updater app

Read here on how to install back gapps

Thanks, i thought dev rom got gapps preinstalled,but luckily u remind me bout that smile.gif
Will follow ur guide

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jun 9 2014, 10:40 AM)
For me I use option 1
No need to wipe also unless you're reverting back to stock rom
Btw, how to enable google play to download apps using data ?
It won't start unless I'm on wifi.

as mention bykennethkee93, is a known bug, what we do is a workaround
but i receive my notification instantly even i have remove them from task manager .

I not sure why you all have these issue.

later tonight when i got time, i do some testing again.. then i will revert back.

For me, i think MIUI had too many lock down due to "Security" reason,
it is good to protect your privacy but sometime over protected , some people might pissed off  tongue.gif

but for me, it is an option to configure myself or the way i want
(That good about Android vs iOS)
Update won't affect your user data, it just change on system data,
but please take note that some application might not working after the update,
you  need go to the apps > application> clear cache/data
example: Widget, Theme and etc..

No need download from PC and transfer to phone,
Usually, around 6~8pm,
At your phone > go to "Updater" > it will prompt you to update to the latest one.
or
Your notification bar will prompt you as well asked to update it (which is OTA)

the naming convention for DEV ROM is MIUI 4.6.6 <<< (the .6.6 is date, so next one will be 4.6.13 and next next week is 4.6.20, and next next next week is 4.6.27 and next next next next week is 4.7.4.......)
*
notworthy.gif should pin to first page,now i know something about dev rom rclxms.gif

just now i dl the roms(stable/dev/my rom),i notice the rom size quite small,and the phone space allocated for us is quite ok compare to already light with aosp phone like moto g
this means miui is actually quite lightweight(compare to samsung rom i dl near 1gb in space doh.gif )
they need optimize the processor more so it would react like 3050mah would,it would be flawless nod.gif

ps: 800 or 801,doesnt matter,we pawn them(note3,g2) without cheating(antutu x)

Thanks Jeremy05 for the info. Went to Lowyat yesterday...... saw the ap sets of mi3. They are selling at RM950........really awesome phone fall in love at first sight. Not buying ap sets though... Hugo Barra says warranty not supported.
*
but if can repair in local service(for a price) i think still worth it,dono if local sc accept the oversea unit or not.

Definitely the awe factor is there.......ap sets are not customized to the Malaysian market worried so incompatibility will surface later.

yeah,all my relative are pretty impressed by it,the design really great despite the bezel,feel light n sturdy as well rclxms.gif

well,in term of hardware,i dont think there is any different between malaysia set and taiwan/singapore set,but need other forummer to confirm biggrin.gif

Preferably to wipe the data and cache, but if you really don't want to do so, you can just wipe it manually in app setting if any of the apps show error or crashes.
Once the developers of MIUI feels that it is stable enough to be released to normal user then there'll be an update for stable version. Just wait, I wasn't too sure though usually the period of releasing new updates for stable rom.
*
apart from kitkat build,does dev rom n stock would have something different in term of visual?

i mean do the dialer is the same?or the wifi icon have something different?

thanks for shed some light for us all notworthy.gif
